Walter Kirn, Up in the air and Lost in the meritocracy

Can’t wait to read his work. I got to know his books after watching “Up in the air”, which lead me to read Walter’s essay titled “Lost in the meritocracy” on The Atlantic. This essay is based on his experience studying at Princeton, and it is a recommended read to anyone who studied at the United States.

Just found an interview on Q&A

I was surprised when he said “The finest writer I was ever given the chance to meet was the great legendary Jorge Luis Borges“. It was a very nice surprise to me.

Again, can’t wait to read his book. I certainly enjoyed the movie “Up in the air” (which is based on his novel) and I am certain I will enjoy his books
